Ingredients

  • 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup tomato slices

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  2. Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
  3. Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Evenly distribute the sliced red onion, tomato slices, green pepper, spinach, and mushrooms over the cheese.

Notes

The secret to a perfect veggie pizza lies in the freshness of its ingredients. Ensure your vegetables are crisp and vibrant for the best flavor. A drizzle of chili oil can add a spicy kick if you fancy some heat. While this pizza stands strong on its own, a fresh garden salad or garlic bread makes a great side. For an even richer taste, consider adding dollops of ricotta cheese or sprinkling some feta before baking.
